mu deceased uncle gave me a betta in a bowl when I was about 12 years old my other deceased uncle kept guppies, black mollies and platys in a ten gallon tank

Favorite fish:

angel fish

Fish I have bred:

can't say I bred them intentionally a pair of black lace angels laid eggs on a piece of slate eggs hatched but fry died soon after since i wasn't able to care for them properly.

Why I like fish::

calming effect while looking at them. appears to be a window into another world. Uswed to scuba dive and grew up wathcing Jacques Costeau on TV documentaries

Best advice:

be patient it may take a while to solve a particular problem but if you can spend a little time regulary you will be rewarded with a fascinating hobby. Too frequently we see established aquariums and say "wow, why can't mine look like that?' It can and will if you put in the effort and be patient. The aquarium is a living entity and evolves with a natural order that we cannot begin to understand; don't try to rush it!

Other pets:

pomeranian and a parakeet that landed on my fire escape one day, 7 years ago.
